Good write up K. I've always been skeptical of the cookie idea. And whoever has been responsible for decorating them needs a new job.
-Get more aggressive on D.
-Golden needs to get up close and personal in the community with these coaches and players. Can't let D'Oh be solely responsible for Broward, cause it seems he got stuck at St. Thomas. Never a bad choice, but this isn't the year to get picky.
It's Publix and FSU does the exact same thing with the cookie cake. I work at the hotel that hosts FSU's official visits. I've seen the itinerary for recruits and I'm not sure where this idea that FSU brings the "sistas" out for their recuits. Their visits go something like this: Arrive at hotel room with FSU cookie cake or cupcakes waiting, get picked up by position coach, tour stadium, tour facilities, eat lunch, meet head coach, watch film with position coach, see locker room, back to the hotel for dinner at Shulas, matched up with (Insert similar player already on team) host for night, get dropped off to the hotel by player host either drunk or stoned. repeat.
It's up to the coaches to sell the football team, school and facilities and the city to a certain extent its REALLY up to the current players chosen as player hosts to show the kids around the city. Same as Miami.
